Supposedly the band members themselves drove the car for all of the stunts. The video was shot cheaply without permits around Los Angeles, with Spike Jonze, the band members, and a skeleton crew just running around and making up things as they went along. Meaning the stunts were actually performed on public streets illegally.

The car was said to be "nearly dead" when acquired by the production, and just jumped, spun, and driven into things until they basically finished it off.

In the absence of a side tag and no indication of a center brake lamp, I'm relisting as a 1985.

I think this should be listed as a 1983 for the following reasons:
1) car is identified as an ‘83 on IMDb
2) LTD CVs with the carburetor 351 obviously did not have a side emblem indicating fuel injection.
3) the car in the video was obviously repainted from it’s original white, so even if it had such an emblem, it was likely removed since the paint job was poorly done.
Just my thoughts

Its a 1983 model! If you look closely in the video when the interior is visible it has a old hardwood steering wheel with the Ford logo in the center and a horn stalk! It also has two fender badges (83-84) on the side fenders, and as previously mentioned, that color was a 1983 exclusive! It also says "LTD-S" on the dash like the Police and Taxi Package LTD Crown Victoria S's said on the dashboard in 1983, 1984 models to my knowledge just say "LTD" if its the fleet model on the dash and 1985 models and beyond all say "LTD Crown Victoria" it's a 1983 Ford LTD Crown Victoria S P43 55A Police Package car!
